Meaningful, Memorable Keynotes

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of speaking on stage (and on live television!) to thousands of people of all ages across the United States. I yearn for a world without a bullying problem, a loneliness epidemic, a connection crisis.  I believe that – together – we can make things different.  

My mission is to inspire, evoke questions, and guide listeners toward that great change.

Let’s give your audience something to think about.

I provide keynote talks (30-90 minutes), webinars, brief workshops (1-4 hours), and full-day workshops. Previous venues have included the APA, local schools, hospitals and medical clinics, community organizations (e.g. Mothers of Preschoolers, Boy Scouts of America), and national conferences. I also co-present with my best friend and colleague, Dr. Dan Wendler, especially on topics related to friendship, leadership, and neurodiversity.
